Methyl 5-S-Acetyl-5-thio-b-D-ribofuranoside (11b)
A cooled (0 °C) solution of methyl b-D-ribofuranoside (7.75 g,
47.2 mmol) and freshly distilled thioacetic acid (4.3 mL, 60.4
mmol) in THF (290 mL) was added to a cooled (0 °C) mixture of
triphenylphosphine (14.79 g, 56.4 mmol) and diisopropyl azodicar-
boxylate (10.8 mL, 55.5 mmol) in THF (190 mL). The reaction mix-
ture was allowed to warm to r.t. and stirred over night. After
evaporation of the solvent, the residue was suspended in H2O (100

Et3N (10.2 mL, 73.6 mmol) and a solution of thionyl chloride
(2.7 mL, 37.2 mmol) in THF (7 mL) were added to a solution of me-
thyl 5-S-acetyl-5-thio-b-D-ribofuranoside (4.02 g, 18.1 mmol) in
THF (70 mL) at -20 °C. After 3 h, the reaction mixture was diluted
with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed several times with brine (70 mL
each). After drying (MgSO4), filtration, and evaporation of the sol-
vent, the residue was purified by column chromatography (470 g
silica gel, Et2O) yielding a diastereomeric mixture of the products
(4.22 g, 87%, Rf 0.92) as a yellow solid. According to the 1H NMR
spectrum, the ratio of the two diastereomers was 125:100 in favour
of endo-12b. The minor isomer exo-12b crystallized from MeOH as
colourless needles (mp: 113 °C). Its structure was verified by an X-
ray diffraction study.
